In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
by the dawn (1) | | وَالْفَجْرِ ﴿1﴾ |
and ten nights (of pilgrimage or the last ten days of ramadan), (2) | | وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ﴿2﴾ |
by the even, and the odd, (3) | | وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ ﴿3﴾ |
by the night when it journeys on! (4) | | وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ﴿4﴾ |
is there in that an oath for the mindful? (5) | | هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ ﴿5﴾ |
have you not heard how your lord dealt with aad? (6) | | أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ﴿6﴾ |
of the columned (city) of iram, (7) | | إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ ﴿7﴾ |
the like of which was never created in the countries? (8) | | الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ ﴿8﴾ |
and thamood, who hewed out the rocks of the valley? (9) | | وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ ﴿9﴾ |
and pharaoh, of the pegs (impaling his victims)? (10) | | وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ ﴿10﴾ |
they were tyrants in the land (11) | | الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ ﴿11﴾ |
and exceeded in corruption therein. (12) | | فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ ﴿12﴾ |
(therefore) your lord let loose upon them a scourge of punishment; (13) | | فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ﴿13﴾ |
indeed, your lord is ever watchful. (14) | | إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ ﴿14﴾ |
as for man, when his lord tests him by honoring him and favoring him, he says: 'my lord, has honored me. ' (15) | | فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ ﴿15﴾ |
but when he tests him by restricting his provision, he says: 'my lord has humiliated me. ' (16) | | وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ ﴿16﴾ |
no! but you show no good to the orphan, (17) | | كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ ﴿17﴾ |
nor do you urge one another to feed the needy. (18) | | وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ﴿18﴾ |
and you devour the inheritance with greed, (19) | | وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا ﴿19﴾ |
and you ardently love wealth. (20) | | وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ﴿20﴾ |
no! but when the earth quakes and is pounded, (21) | | كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ﴿21﴾ |
and your lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank, (22) | | وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ﴿22﴾ |
and gehenna (hell) is brought near on that day the human will remember, and how shall the reminder be for him? (23) | | وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى ﴿23﴾ |
he will say: 'would that i had forwarded (good works) for my life!' (24) | | يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي ﴿24﴾ |
but on that day none will punish as he (allah) will punish, (25) | | فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿25﴾ |
nor will any bind as he binds. (26) | | وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿26﴾ |
o satisfied soul, (27) | | يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ﴿27﴾ |
return to your lord wellpleased, wellpleasing. (28) | | ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ﴿28﴾ |
join my worshipers and (29) | | فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي ﴿29﴾ |
enter my paradise! (30) | | وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي ﴿30﴾ |
